Abstract

The paper analyzes problems connected with the processes of “agencification” identified in the European administrative space. The growing number of European regulators, especially decentralized agencies, is analyzed through the prism of their evolving institutional autonomy. From more than thirty such bodies existing in the EU, the Author chose to focus on the example of the European Aviation Safety Agency, which has a wide catalogue of decision-making and quasi-regulatory powers.
